That's not my perception. I much prefer "no frills" pistols, but with visible sights, and despite all the manufacturers out there (almost all of whom offer a a variety of different models and options), there are almost none that fit this simple criterion. Fortunately, the exception is the Colt 1991 series, and that's available in a true Commander size, so I am not reduced to having to choose among guns to see which offers the fewest undesirable "enhancements."

For probably 98.73 percent of buyers, there's a 1911 already available from somebody that comes equipped with the desired bells and whistles. It makes far better sense to buy it that way than to buy something you don't like and then start throwing parts at it.

YMMV.
